Pot of Fortune
By Pragmatic Play
Pot of Fortune is a very simple Irish-themed 20 payline slot from Pragmatic Play. It’s stacked with traditional imagery including leprechauns, gold coins and 4 leaf clovers. There is only one feature in this game – a free spins round triggered by landing 6 Pot scatters. Those scatters turn to sticky wilds at the start of the round to help boost your wins. The top win is 5,000x and spins start at 20p.
Pot of Fortune is available at UK slot sites from 14th March 2024.

Theme and Design
A Charming, Traditional Irish Slot Game
There are some interesting alternative interpretations of what an Irish slot can look like in 2024. Push Gaming’s Shamrock Saints and Quickspin’s Brawlers Bar Cash Collect for example choose a darkly humorous take with hard-drinking leprechauns and fist fighting drunks. But ror their part, Pragmatic Play have very much gone down the traditional route instead with cheery leprechauns, idyllic emerald green countryside with bright red toadstools, as well as plenty of cosy symbols like bright green hats and purple smoking pipes. It’s soundtracked by a very traditional folk tune played on what sounds like a banjo. It’s kind of upbeat and relaxing at the same time!

RTP and Variance
Pot of Fortune has three available RTP settings at 96%, 95% and 94%. Some sites will run the game at one of the lower rates. It’s best to check on the game info screen before you play– hit the ‘i’ link under the reels and scroll through until you see RTP. If it’s less than 96% I recommend you play elsewhere. MrQ from Lindar Media is a good option. They usually run Pragmatic Play games at the max RTP.
This is another high variance slot, with a 5/5 rating on Pragmatic’s own scale. This studio has been turning the screw with their volatility levels lately, making games like Mighty Munching Melons and Pompei Megareels Megaways tight as hell, so expect a rough ride, but there are plenty of Free Spins and Sticky Wilds to set up some big win moments too.
Maximum Win
The top payout in Pot of Fortune is 5,000x. A little on the low side, but not that unusual for a Pragmatic Play slot. At the minimum bet of 20p per spin that means you could win £1,000.

Symbols and Paytable
Pot of Fortune is a simple slot with 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 paylines. Wins are triggered in the normal way by landing 3 or more identical symbols across a line from left to right, starting at the left-most reel.

There are 10 symbols in the paytable. Low value ones are the cards, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. These are valued at from 0.2x for 3 10s up to 5x for 5 Aces. The premiums are the the pipe, the beer mug, the shoes, the hat and the leprechaun. These are valued at from 0.6x for 3 pipes up to 125x for 5 leprechauns.
There is also a Gold Pot which represents the Wild symbol. It will substitute for all pay symbols to complete paylines AND pay out at 2.5x, 5x and 125x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.
Features and Gameplay
Free Spins With Sticky Wilds
Pot of Fortune is the epitome of simple slots play, with just one feature - the free spins round. To trigger this you need to land 6 or more of the Wild Pots (the Gold Pot) and Scatter Pots (a purple pot!). It can be 6 of one, or a combination that makes up 6 (e.g. 3 Wild Pots and 3 Scatter Pots).

Before the free spins start, all Pot symbols that triggered it transform into Sticky Wilds that stay on the reels throughout the spins. These new wilds, now represented as gold coins with 4 leaf clovers on them, have the same pay value as the Wild Pots in the base game – 2.5x, 5x and 125x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.
There is no opportunity to re-trigger the free spins as no Pot symbols are active during the feature.
Ante Bet
Pragmatic Play sometimes include the Ante Bet feature in their slots. At 1.25x the chosen stake you can increase your chance of landing scatters to trigger the bonus round.
Final Verdict
Not all online slots have to be crazily complex ones. Sometimes a traditional Irish theme with bold colours and symbols and a simple free spins round with sticky wilds is enough. And that is certainly the case here. It might not end up having the staying power of an evergreen classic, but Pot of Fortune is entertaining enough and will no doubt win some hearts with its charming style and rewarding bonus feature round.
Testing Notes
I played 200 spins on Pot of Fortune on Pragmatic Play’s test server prior to release to test the game. This is what happened.
- Stake Size: £1
- Start balance: £100,000
- End balance: £99,991
- Hit Rate: 30% (60 winning spins in 200)
- Biggest Win: 64.4x
- Free Spins Round: 2
For what is a very simple slot, Pot of Fortune was actually great fun to play. It zips along at a good pace with cheery background music, bright colourful symbols and a good hit rate of 30% (60 spins triggered a payout of some kind). The base game wins weren’t ever that big – maxing out at just 8x – but really this game is all about triggering the free spins round.

I did that twice, producing wins of 32.5x and 64.4x. The positioning of the Sticky Wilds in the second of the two meant I got a win on every spin, so it was always going to be a good payout. If you landed more than 6 Pots to trigger the round, giving you more than 6 Sticky Wilds, the wins could be huge.
At the end of 200 spins I was slightly down on my opening balance, but no complaints, this is an enjoyable Irish slot with lots of character.
